Today I went out to check on the kale I planted in a raised bed, and I found that every single plant had all the leaves eaten off! (about 4 inches up) I had really been looking forward to having kale salads this fall - hopefully the plants will recover, but I'm not so sure. Anyway, is there any way to ensure that this groundhog won't do it again? I live in the city, where unfortunately, I'm not allowed to simply shoot the darn thing. It's extremely rare for groundhogs to take up residence in cities. I think that depends on the city. NYC, Boston probably. I live a few miles from downtown Nashville and I had a groundhog show up every year for the peaches in my yard until a dog showed up in my yard and I kept him. Gone was the groundhog, possums, rabbits and cats, although he never killed one (I love that about my dog.) I love my dog, but miss sharing the yard with some of the wildlife. Still lots of squirrels and birds though. |
